Chlorag+ard Technology is a chlorhexidine-based protective treatment from the ARROW brand. Its application involves the usage of a proprietary process whereby chlorhexidine is chemically fused to the catheter surface providing a controlled release.

"Development of new technology to ensure the patient receives the safest, most effective IV therapy possible should drive all medical device manufacturers."

The internal and external catheter surfaces are treated with chlorhexidine protection with Chlorag+ard Technology offering an initial burst of chlorhexidine with a sustained release resulting in antithrombogenic and antimicrobial protection.
